R devel - Nov 2004 - Row labels are skewed in 'heatmap' (PR#7358)

Full_Name: Peter Fischer Hallin
Version: Version 1.8.1
OS: Irix64
Submission from: (NULL) (130.225.67.236)


I've made a script look like this:
 exp <- read.table("graph/1933672048.cluster.data")
 exp <- as.matrix(exp) 
 postscript("graph/1933672048.cluster.data.ps") 
 heatmap(exp,scale="none",cexCol=0.4,cexRow=0.2,col=custom,margins=c(5,5))

The row labels on the output PostScript file are skewed vertically downwards -
in fact more than the height of 2 rows! I have roughly 200 rows and 4 columns in
my dataset. It is therefor very difficult to see which label goes to which row

Please read how to report bugs. In particular, please don't report bugs 
of outdated R versions!

I guess the bug has been fixed by a couple of changes how text in 
margins is drawn. Please try R-2.0.1 beta and tell us whether the bug is 
still persistent. In that case, please provide a simple reproducible 
example (we cannot reproduce the example above!).

Hi Peter, thank you for trying,
but that's not yet a useful bug report:

We can't reproduce what you did!

If you put your data on a web site,
and replace
   exp <- read.table("graph/1933672048.cluster.data")
by exp <-
read.table("http://<....your_adress....>/mycluster.data")

it will hopefully become reproducible and thus potentially
useful.

Though even that is doubtful since you are using an outdated
version of R, and I now that heatmap() has been improved since then!
